Do you love to wrap christmas presents every year that you can't stop or wish you have more to wrap. I love to wrap presents and I can't stop and I go nuts if I don't have anymore to do.. When you start wrapping your gifts. Do you wrap any blank box and put under the christmas tree for decorations.

I don't like wrapping presents and I don't like it when people make fun of the presents I wrapped. :(

Yes, I do enjoy wrapping gifts...I also collect Christmas Wrap, and have a whole trunk full....I have paper from when I was a child...my mother was very conservative....Giftwrap was saved from year to year, and she would iron it, and reuse it....That way she had more money to spend on presents . I usually buy the giftwrap on sale after Christmas, and I save the favorites, to reuse....it is fun sometimes to look at the paper and try to remember the gifts that it has seen....anyway, come Christmas, no two gifts under my tree have the same giftwrap...and I love Santa Giftwrap! There is always a gift from Mom, Dad, and Mom and Dad...everything else is from Santa.....I am 56 years old, and Santa comes on Christmas Eve, after everyone is asleep...the stockings are filled and the presents are placed under the tree....one year this was very tricky as our Living room is small, and I had kids all over the floor sleeping...I still don't know how "Santa" got everything under that tree, without waking them up...because the presents had to be worked around them! they couldn't believe it either...we still laugh about that Christmas! It is just one of many good memories for us. However, I have to admit that even if I start wrapping early....I always seem to have lots to do on Christmas Eve...and I am always glad to get the last one done! I use lots of Ribbon, and curling ribbon, make my own Bows etc...I much prefer Packages to the Bag idea! But Bags work very well for some things...I am happy to say that even my son loves to giftwrap his own gifts for everyone....now age 24 and he is quite good at it! The girls also wrap. Merry christmas! PS...try wrapping on christmas Eve....you will be glad to see the last gift wrapped...don't know how old you are, but if you are not an adult with children of your own, the day will come. In the meantime, if you are young...why not ask your parents if you can help wrap the gifts that are not yours....I always wrapped most all of the gifts...but was able to not tell secrets...very important!

I absolutely love wrapping presents. I go all out and buy that really nice ribbon and the foil papers. A few times people didnt believe that I actually wrapped the presents because they looked so good. My family calls me the Martha Stewart of gift wrapping! Its kinda sad when the gifts are open and my pretty packages are gone
Merry Christmas!!!

Yes I love to wrap presents. I have almost all the Christmas shopping done and it's killing me not to wrap them yet! I almost wrapped them last night! I don't wrap extra boxes though because we have too many presents for under the tree as is.

I love to wrap!!! I buy lots of ribbon and make my own bows. I like to add all kinds of embellisments to the packages. It makes the tree look so much more professional. I started a new tradition a few years back of buying my immediate family ( hubby, 4 kids and I) each their own special paper. Everyone's gifts are wrapped in a paper picked especially for them. That way it's easy to tell which are yours under the tree without having to dig through and read the tags. It is especially nice for my little ones. I also came across the tip of using my ironing board to wrap on. It's the perfect height and no more back pain! I usually don't start wrapping until December. I like to save it as part of the Holiday fun!Merry Christmas! God Bless!

I do love wrapping presents, but it's gotten a bit harder now I have a toddler "helping" me. It's hard to find time to wrap hers when she's not looking. LOL
We always have so many presents under our tree that I don't need to wrap empty boxes.

When I was a kid I used to love wrapping things with my mom. It was always cool to know what my sibs were getting for Christmas. Now I absolutely hate it, bring on the gift bags!

yep- I love to wrap gifts, I never use gift bags... I think the kids enjoy unwrapping more...I have already started wrapping this year, I just couldn't wait!I don't wrap empty boxes because I think my 2 and 5 yr olds would make me let them open them just to be sure they were empty

Love trying to, no matter what the end result's like(: Given my... skills, I tend to put presents in those pretty, colourful boxes and wrap that instead of something that's strangely-shaped.
